1 Corinthians 5:7-13

5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven,
that ye may be a new lump,
as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

5:8
Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
5:9
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

5:10
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world,
or with the covetous,
or extortioners,
or with idolaters;
for then must ye needs go out of the world.
5:11
But now I have written unto you not to keep company,
if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator,
or covetous,
or an idolater,
or a railer,
or a drunkard,
or an extortioner;
with such an one no not to eat.
5:12
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without?
do not ye judge them that are within?

5:13
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.

Now the next day,
that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

27:63
Saying,
Sir,
we remember that that deceiver said,
while he was yet alive,
After three days I will rise again.
27:64
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day,
lest his disciples come by night,
and steal him away,
and say unto the people,
He is risen from the dead:
so the last error shall be worse than the first.
27:65
Pilate said unto them,
Ye have a watch:
go your way,
make it as sure as ye can.
27:66
So they went,
and made the sepulchre sure,
sealing the stone,
and setting a watch.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what is a man profited,
if he shall gain the whole world,

which shall not taste of death,

John 5:21-30

5:21
For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
5:22
For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

5:23
That all men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
5:24
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
5:25
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
The hour is coming,
and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:
and they that hear shall live.
5:26
For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

5:27
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
5:28
Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming,
in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

5:29
And shall come forth;
they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
5:30
I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear,
I judge:
and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

1 Corinthians 15:1-22

15:1
Moreover,
brethren,
I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand;

15:2
By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
15:3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

15:4
And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

15:5
And that he was seen of Cephas,
then of the twelve:

15:6
After that,
he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once;
of whom the greater part remain unto this present,
but some are fallen asleep.
15:7
After that,
he was seen of James;
then of all the apostles.
15:8
And last of all he was seen of me also,
as of one born out of due time.
15:9
For I am the least of the apostles,
that am not meet to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God.
15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am:
and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain;
but I laboured more abundantly than they all:
yet not I,
but the grace of God which was with me.
15:11
Therefore whether it were I or they,
so we preach,
and so ye believed.
15:12
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead,
how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

15:13
But if there be no resurrection of the dead,
then is Christ not risen:

15:14
And if Christ be not risen,
then is our preaching vain,
and your faith is also vain.
15:15
Yea,
and we are found false witnesses of God;
because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ:
whom he raised not up,
if so be that the dead rise not.
15:16
For if the dead rise not,
then is not Christ raised:

15:17
And if Christ be not raised,
your faith is vain;
ye are yet in your sins.
15:18
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
15:19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ,
we are of all men most miserable.
15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
15:21
For since by man came death,
by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
15:22
For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.

1 Peter 1:1-9

1:1
Peter,
an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia,
Cappadocia,
Asia,
and Bithynia,

1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through sanctification of the Spirit,
unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:
Grace unto you,
and peace,
be multiplied.
1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1:4
To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,

1:5
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1:6
Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though now for a season,
if need be,
ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

1:7
That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

1:8
Whom having not seen,
ye love;
in whom,
though now ye see him not,
yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

1:9
Receiving the end of your faith,
even the salvation of your souls.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.

Matthew 28:1-20

28:1
In the end of the sabbath,
as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2
And,
behold,
there was a great earthquake:
for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back the stone from the door,
and sat upon it.
28:3
His countenance was like lightning,
and his raiment white as snow:

28:4
And for fear of him the keepers did shake,
and became as dead men.
28:5
And the angel answered and said unto the women,
Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus,
which was crucified.
28:6
He is not here:
for he is risen,
as he said. Come,
see the place where the Lord lay.
28:7
And go quickly,
and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;
and,
behold,
he goeth before you into Galilee;
there shall ye see him:
lo,
I have told you.
28:8
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy;
and did run to bring his disciples word.
28:9
And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold,
Jesus met them,
saying,
All hail. And they came and held him by the feet,
and worshipped him.
28:10
Then said Jesus unto them,
Be not afraid:
go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee,
and there shall they see me.
28:11
Now when they were going,
behold,
some of the watch came into the city,
and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
28:12
And when they were assembled with the elders,
and had taken counsel,
they gave large money unto the soldiers,

28:13
Saying,
Say ye,
His disciples came by night,
and stole him away while we slept.
28:14
And if this come to the governor's ears,
we will persuade him,
and secure you.
28:15
So they took the money,
and did as they were taught:
and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
28:16
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
28:17
And when they saw him,
they worshipped him:
but some doubted.
28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
28:19
Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost:

28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and,
lo,
I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Luke 24:1-12

24:1
Now upon the first day of the week,
very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had prepared,
and certain others with them.
24:2
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
24:3
And they entered in,
and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
24:4
And it came to pass,
as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold,
two men stood by them in shining garments:

24:5
And as they were afraid,
and bowed down their faces to the earth,
they said unto them,
Why seek ye the living among the dead?

24:6
He is not here,
but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

24:7
Saying,
The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men,
and be crucified,
and the third day rise again.
24:8
And they remembered his words,

24:9
And returned from the sepulchre,
and told all these things unto the eleven,
and to all the rest.
24:10
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna,
and Mary the mother of James,
and other women that were with them,
which told these things unto the apostles.
24:11
And their words seemed to them as idle tales,
and they believed them not.
24:12
Then arose Peter,
and ran unto the sepulchre;
and stooping down,
he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves,
and departed,
wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

And Glory be to God forever
